My NIW was approved in 4 months in VSC.
When I was on F1, I filed 1040 instead of 1040NR for 4 years by mistake.
One of these was submitted along with a correct one (last year) for I-485.
I am wondering if this mistake can be a reason for rejecting I-485.

Thank you for the advice. I will ask my lawyer when she comes back to work.
Meanwhile, I will add more info.
1. My hubby filed for NIW. I am his dependent. My lawyer said I also have to submit my tax files.
2. When I was on F1, since I used I040, I did not use tax treaty (first 2000$ is exempt from tax). So I don't think I paid less than 1040NR. Anyway, these tax files were not included in I-485. Do I still have to look back and correct?
3. On the one I included in I-485, I claimed "higher education cost" (I went to school on OPT and paid tuition) on 1040. Would it be a problem?
Thank you so much!
